Pesto, are you not reading his comment? Bna said, "They're using an extremely limited set of criteria if they're really looking to find the 'best music scenes." The criteria is musicians and music-based businesses, and Bna correctly pointed out that Nashville is number one when it comes to THAT set of criteria.
I don't think you read so good.
You either. On that theory, Mumbai is the best food district in the world if it has 500 Indian restaurants. And Monterrey is tied if they have 500 Mexican restaurants and nothing else.
Not to be a hometown hero, and obviously Atlanta isn't the only city that got wrongly snubbed here (and NYC and Nashville really do belong at the top), but it's not just the hub of hip-hop, gospel and r&b nowadays; so many great artists of different genres have come out of and record in Atlanta (and nearby Athens).
Collective Soul
B-52s
Sugarland
Indigo Girls
Alan Jackson
R.E.M.
Drive By Truckers
Widespread Panic (lots of jam bands actually, like STS9 as well)
The Black Crowes
And John Mayer became famous/started his career in Atlanta playing at Eddie's Attic in Decatur. Other famous musicians such as Elton John maintain residence in Atlanta for a variety of reasons, including its hub as an international music recording capital. The city is not #22, and not #1, but somewhere in between likely closer to #1 than #22.
portland is awesome if all you like is crappy hipster indie rock!! im not hating on rock and roll, just crappy rock and roll and we have plenty of it!!! the decemberists....*shudder*.....
You dont like the Decemberists? Theyve been my favorite band since 2005 and I dont go a day without listening to their music.
I don't doubt the Drive-By Truckers have connections to Atlanta, but I thought they primarily came from Muscle Shoals, Alabama?
Yeah they don't feel very metropolitan ATL- pan south really, with southern urban vague references. Fun band. For some reason I was thinking Iron and Wine was Georgia-centric but apparent based in Austin now.
